Salah and Gakpo on Target for Reds
In a highly anticipated Merseyside derby, Liverpool emerged victorious at Anfield with a comfortable 2-0 win over Everton. Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo found the back of the net for the Reds, extending their dominance in this historic rivalry.
The match started brightly, with both teams looking to assert their authority. However, it was Liverpool who took the lead in the 36th minute. Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross found Salah in the box, and the Egyptian forward made no mistake, slotting it past Jordan Pickford.
Everton's hopes were further dashed when Jonjoe Kenny was sent off for a reckless tackle on Darwin Nunez just before halftime. This gave Liverpool a significant advantage, and they capitalized on it in the second half.
In the 49th minute, Gakpo, who had joined Liverpool from PSV Eindhoven in January, scored his first goal for the club. The Dutchman received a pass from Salah and struck a powerful shot that flew past Pickford.
Everton struggled to create clear-cut chances throughout the match, and Liverpool comfortably held on to their lead. The win strengthens Liverpool's position in the Premier League standings, while they also extend their unbeaten run in the Merseyside derby to 13 matches.
